"Within the Castle's walls, every stone tells a tale, and the breeze whispers secrets of a time long past..."

Another tiny location wip! Hyrule Castle and the city, deciding the distribution for it was interesting, of course it's inspired in an Ocarina of Time Castle, but because this is a an AU map, we do whatever we want ( • ̀ω•́ ) The map is almost complete, and I can't wait to show you guys. Again, more tiny locations soon

845 fair folk friends! Thank you everyone! Reblogging properly this time because I am dumb

Thanks so much to everyone that's been following this playlist since I first posted about it, you guys have no idea how much it means to me that so many people are enjoying the music I have been finding and collecting. I like to imagine this is the music that plays in my fictional rural home as I tend the garden or paint in the living room (daydreaming go brrr). Again, thank you thank you thank you everyone!

Here are some of the latest songs added to the collection

It's based on a very specific calming mood and - like the title says - mostly instrumental, so you can focus on just the music. So if you love cottagecore, want some music to just read, study or paint to, you can find the playlist here!

Cottagecore/Soft Fantasy playlist

For all my cottagecore lovers out there, here's a playlist that is (mostly) instrumental, so plenty of non-distracting songs for reading or art time or picnics or what have you. I've always wanted to share it! Anyway, here's the link to the playlist!

I've hand-picked all these songs lovingly because they make me feel cozy and like I'm in nature, so I hope you like them and have fun!

I am exceedingly tired of worrying about how I am perceived, I just want to unapologetically create, without worrying about whether or not what I'm doing will bring me some kind of monetary compensation in the future

I am going to suck, and I am going to suck a lot before I get anywhere good. I just want to make stuff the same way little me did when I was 8 with crayons and colored pencils: completely unbothered.

Gonna use my Photoshop skills to create Thistle's spellbook brb

I did it.

Making of Thistle's Spellbook

Top part is coming along nicely...

Crying... how do I... what?

Fine. Let's use our brain for this. So we're gonna use a feather shape on a stick within a group as guide to keep the angle mostly uniform, we'll get rid of them later.

Once I started blocking out the shapes, I began adding effects in, just to test them first

The wings were a real struggle... I did them on a regular layer and used a mask to chip away the thin detail of the lines

Making sure I have both versions (manga and anime). A deep reddish version for the manga one and a golden one to match the one that appears in the anime

The golden "wheel" in the center was actually easier than the rest even though I did have to think a bit on how exactly I would go about it. In the end I used the polygon shape to make the spiked circle then made copies to make the inner rings. As for the eye I made 1/4 of it then mirrored it until I had the full eye

Had to tweak the colors quite a bit, but I used Color Overlay for all my shapes, making it easy to change the color at any point

After about 6 hours, and lots of tweaking and blasting music in the background to stay sane it was finally complete.

Happy birthday to the greenest green flag on this earth, I love you so much (07/03)

"I can finally leave... Martha Sis I'm coming home sweety"

"I'M BACK IN THE FUCKING BUILDING AGAIN"

Working on yet another ultra-detailed map....

"You don't even have to show it to anyone"

I feel like if more people kept this in mind, they'd be less stressed about making art. It's so easy to fall into the pit making stuff for the sake of showing it off or for approval. It's a surefire way of burning yourself out. Don't forget why you like to create, with any luck it's because while you create, you make yourself happy first and foremost.

"The first person you should think of pleasing, (when creating something), is yourself" -Patricia Highsmith

Please make art. You don't have to bare your soul or make a masterpiece, you can be silly and you can be derivative if you want. You don't even have to show it to anyone. Just please make something, it's so good for you

I got a heart from my internet crush

Safe to say my day is off to a great start

"You make such pretty maps, you must love mapmaking!"

This is actually excruciatingly painful, but hey, I live to please

Listen

I'm the mapmaker

I've wanted to cry like 15 times while making this

I get to decide what chaos I throw in there

What are they gonna do about it?

Oh my stars? We are now 1002 little gremlins enjoying the same music! THANK YOU EVERYONE!

Me when I finally finish the commission I was k*lling myself over

Why is it that every time I need to get up early in the morning for something important, I cannot for the life of me fall asleep when I need to?

Can't tell if that's meant to be a wholesome response reminding them of the fleeting nature of human life

or a threat

I’m a glass half full kinda guy cause then I have more water that way

New Special Interest Unlocked!

Bookbinding.

I am just so deeply in awe of the history of books and how they were made throughout. It's such an interesting thing to just learn about because I'd always loved books, but I had never given the process of creating one just ANY thought. I'm fascinated.

...Brb gonna stock up on material so I can bind books of my own.

@tsukinoshinjiu The changelings stay winning

wait isnt gender over today

"And from my rotting body flowers shall grow, and I am them, and that is eternity"

Physically pains me to work on bigger pieces because my nut sized brain hates stuff that takes longer than a day (but I think miss dead merm over here will be worth it)

Just woke up from a nap and dreamt they were making a third Finding Nemo movie, but in this one Dory was having a baby and people were making memes because she found the absolute sweetest and hottest blue tang husband so my feed was just full of memes of "The bad bitch I pulled by being silly" and thirst trap edits of Dory's husband
